DeJavu Restaurant has a new addition to the Family; "DeJavu To You"our new Food Truck. Chef Gary Williams and the DeJavu family are excited to bring to you a mobile kitchen.

We have a cooking trailer now, and we can travel, we gonna

awesome, it’s completely outfitted for everything we need. We will still be serving all of the same
things that we cook inside our kitchen at the restaurant.
We want you to come on out; we are going to call it “DeJavu to You”. Taking a tour around the Trailer you can see
Bourbon Street and everything New Orleans.
And you already know we are going to have the same great taste coming out of this
kitchen. You guys are going to have a
great time.

Catering needs, here in Memphis, Tennessee, as well as the Tri-State area. We will even come to Missouri, wherever we

About Me

Title: Chef/owner DeJaVu New Orleans Creole Soul Food and Vegetarian Restaurant.
Hometown: New Orleans
Who or what was your first cooking influence? My mother. We call her "Mama Gamble." Her passion for cooking, her passion for people, just enjoying what she did.
What was the first thing you ever cooked or baked? Smothered pork chops with sweet peas and steamed rice. I was 12 years old.
What made you decide to become a chef and when was that? When I saw the looks on people's faces as a result of eating my mother's food. Food brings folks together. I want to do that because I love people.
What was something important that a fellow chef taught you? How to organize and how to just enjoy what you're doing. Taking care of people.
What is the Gary Williams style? Soul food with a Creole twist.
Describe a dish you created. Alligator Stew, a meal I put together when I moved here to Memphis. I'd been cooking over 32 years. Never seen a recipe. Just thought about my time in Miami and Las Vegas, New Orleans, California and blended seasonings -- a little henna curry with French bell peppers and onions, dry and fresh seasonings -- and the rest is history.
